Over the next month, we turn to a venture that began with our Christian brothers and sisters in the New Zealand and Australia – the reshaping of part of the Revised Common Lectionary by adding to it a new season... The Season of Creation.
During this time we are being invited to:
* celebrate Earth as a sacred planet filled with God’s vibrant presence;
* embrace our kin in creation as our extended family;
* confess our sin against creation and empathize with a groaning creation;
* go forth on a mission to be partners in the healing of creation.
